Located in historic Lexington, Massachusetts, the Inn at Hastings Park is just steps away from where the first shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired on the Lexington Battle Green. Lexington, only 15 miles northwest of Boston, is also home to numerous shops and restaurants and is part of the Minuteman Bikeway, an 11-mile trail that runs throughout the neighboring towns. The Inn's guest rooms are spread out across three restored buildings and include fireplaces, Frette towels and robes, blankets woven on Maine looms, flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. A complimentary breakfast at Artistry on the Green restaurant is also included in the nightly room rate, as is parking and daily coffee service. Recent visitors loved the spacious rooms, tasty cuisine, convenient location and the friendly and accommodating staff. The Inn is also a member of Relais & Châteaux, so Club 5C members can redeem or accrue points by choosing to stay here.

In the small western Massachusetts town of Lenox, the Blantyre property rises elegantly from a green grass lawn. The property's Main House, cottages and Carriage House feature intricate moldings, magnificent fireplaces and rich colors on the walls. Accommodations are outfitted in unique decor (no two rooms look the same) and many include working fireplaces. Guests say they felt like royalty during their stays: The service surpasses all expectations, the food is impressive, the spa offers luxurious treatments and the grounds are spread out for your own strolling pleasure. But buyers beware: This regal extravagance doesn't come cheap. However, those who take part in Relais & Châteaux's exclusive Club 5C program are eligible for benefits, such as room upgrades.

Popular with honeymooners, The Wauwinet sits in a quieter northern corner of Nantucket island, less than 2 miles from the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge. Here, you can stretch out your sea legs on one of two private beaches or sample the local seafood at the ever-popular TOPPER's restaurant. The attentive service staff deserves a mention as well: Everyone, from the reservations assistants to the cleaning staff, receives high praise from guests. The concierge even makes pre-vacation planning phone calls. The luxurious rooms and cottages, outfitted in soothing yellow tones with wooden furnishings, free Wi-Fi access and 400-thread-count Pratesi linens, leave guests vying for more time at this romantic retreat. Also included in your room rate: coffee and pastries in the morning and evening port and cheese. Because The Wauwinet is a member of the Relais & Châteaux family, Club 5C members can earn or redeem points here for additional benefits. Keep in mind: The Wauwinet is a seasonal property, open from late April to the end of October.
